It’s a gentle adventurous trip perfect for families with younger children. The region contains some of the best mountain biking in Vietnam. The scenery is spectacular, especially in spring and autumn when the skies are clear and blue.
Sapa, nestling a top a beautiful valley near the border with China, is northwest Vietnam’s most colourful destination. Vivid green rice terraces are sculpted into the mountain sides while in the fields minority women work dressed in traditional clothes. There are five different minorities in this region, each one colourful, distinct, and with their own language and cultural values.
Enjoy the combination of cycling with great scenery and friendly local villagers. Relax in the evening at a comfortable ecolodge in front of a log fire. This cycling adventure is fully supported with experienced guides on bikes or motorbikes where necessary. Recommended for families with children aged 6 to 12.
